Which AWS Support plan gives the full Trusted Advisor checks cheapest?

Why the Answer Is Correct

AWS Business Support (B) is the lowest-cost AWS Support plan that includes the full set of AWS Trusted Advisor checks across every category — cost optimization, security, fault tolerance, performance, service quotas, and operational excellence. Developer Support only surfaces the core checks, so it cannot satisfy "full set", while Enterprise On-Ramp and Enterprise also deliver the full catalog but at a higher price, so they fail the "lowest cost" half of the requirement. The official AWS Premium Support plans page states this tiering explicitly, showing "Full" Trusted Advisor checks beginning at Business Support. Because the question asks for one condition on features (full checks) and one on price (lowest cost), Business Support is the only option that satisfies both simultaneously.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

AWS Developer Support (A) is indeed the cheapest paid support tier, but it provides only the core Trusted Advisor checks and best-practice guidance by email — it does not include the full check set, so it fails the feature requirement. AWS Enterprise On-Ramp Support (C) does include the full set of Trusted Advisor checks, but it costs substantially more than Business Support and is aimed at workloads with a designated Technical Account Manager pool, so it fails the cost requirement. AWS Enterprise Support (D) is the most comprehensive and most expensive plan, offering the full checks plus a dedicated TAM, concierge support, and a 15-minute response SLA for business-critical outages — again correct on features but wrong on price. Only Business Support sits at the intersection of "full checks" and "cheapest".

Community Comment Notes

Support for B is essentially unanimous in the thread: ahadh7621 points to the AWS Premium Support plans table and writes that "you get the FULL set of Trusted Advisor Checks with the Business Support Plan", and ShaiTay adds that "Developer Support does not provide full set of Trusted Advisor checks". red_panda and alokdixit2006 both summarize the same rule in one line — that Business Support grants access to the full check set. Yo_Mero links a third-party study page rather than vendor documentation, which is a weaker source but points the same way. The single dissenting vote from geocis picks A, claiming Developer Support offers "access to a full set of AWS Trusted Advisor checks"; that contradicts the official plan comparison table, where the Developer tier is capped at the core checks, and it reflects exactly the cheapest-tier assumption the exam is testing.

Exam Strategy

CLF-C02 support-plan questions almost always hinge on a two-part constraint — a feature plus a price qualifier such as "lowest cost" — so read both halves before picking. Memorize the ladder: Developer (cheapest, core checks only), Business (full checks, 24/7 phone/chat, 1-hour urgent SLA), Enterprise On-Ramp (full checks, TAM pool), Enterprise (full checks, dedicated TAM, 15-minute critical SLA). When the prompt says "full Trusted Advisor checks" together with "lowest cost", the answer is Business Support.
